Forget Netflix, This Sunday Watch Inspirational Videos From The House Of TEDTalks

The price one pays for making mistakes, sometimes is manifold. But there are some ordinary people who overcome hardships or mistakes in their lives, with an extraordinary display of courage.  


Such people and their stories of triumphs serves as an inspiration for many of us. The platform TEDTalks provide is revolutionary, in the sense that it is our mine of inspirational stories.


TED which stands for Technology, Entertainment and Design at present covers a wide range of topics from science to business to global issues and social as well. It is a non profit which is devoted to spread ideas in the form of short, inspirational and powerful talks, of approximately 18 minutes or less. 


A global community which welcomes people from all walks of life to converge and share their ideas, struggles, and success stories to make this world a much  better place to live. 


Inspired thinkers and curious souls find solace here. For people like me it serves like a dose of inspiration, the kick in your ass which you need at times to aim for higher in life. 


For me TEDTalks are literally the most democratic platform of exchanging ideas. Why you ask? Well, first it’s a place where you would find opposing ideas and contradictory viewpoints. It doesn’t prescribe to a certain line of thought. And that is what sets it apart. 


Thordis Elva and Tom Stranger’s Our story of rape and reconciliation talk is the latest to break the internet. A rape survivor and the perpetrator have come together to narrate their story. They have touch upon the most sensitive aspects of this brutal crime (rape) and had an open dialogue.
